Waiting on Wednesday / Can’t Wait Wednesday

Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted here, at Wishful Endings, and my version is a mix of what I’m waiting to read, whether it’s a new release that is not out yet, or an older book on my TBR shelf, which I really want to read but haven’t got around to it yet.

Here’s my ‘Can’t wait to read’, book for this week:

I’d really love to get my hands on this, because it sounds like a beautifully, mysterious and fun fairy tale. Plus the version I’ve seen looks like it also has purple edging… but that could just be the magazine design. Who knows? I need it to find out! Plus I love purple books. There are not enough of them in the world!

The Peculiar Peggs of Riddling WoodsPaperback– 10 Jan 2019

“A thrilling read… flavoured with fairy tales, drizzled with a syrup of fear and sprinkled with heart.” –M.G. Leonard

This is the story of a sleepy town called Suds. A place where stories fill the air of children who keep turning grey and disappearing without a trace…

Poppy and Erasmus are certain there’s something peculiar going on in Suds, and they’re determined to unravel its secrets. But when they discover the answers might lie in the dark and twisting woods, can they find the courage to creep inside and solve this riddling mystery?
